Quantum Information Science I, Part 2

Isaac Chuang , Peter Shor , MITx

Have you already taken a foundational introduction to quantum computing course and want to continue with simple quantum protocols and quantum algorithms? This is the course for you!

This course is part of a three-course series that provides an introduction to the theory and practice of quantum computation. This second course builds on the foundational introduction provided in the first course, 8.370.1x, and explores simple quantum protocols and algorithms, including:

Quantum teleportation and superdense coding

The Deutsch-Jozsa and Simon's algorithms

Grover's quantum search algorithm

Shor's quantum factoring algorithm

This course will help you understand what quantum computers can do and how they work. You'll learn how you can contribute to discovering new things and solving problems in quantum information science and engineering.
